Hi

I have a Camilla Rose and (naturally!) I think her name is beautiful!

She is rarely called Cammy but is called Millie quite a lot.

It is a name which caused a lot of comments when I first named her - people will have strong views (most seem to relate to Camilla of Cornwall). Camille never occurred to use as a name us
Good luck!

I like Camille. I know one who pronounces her name Cam - eel. I like though if you wanted it pronounced Cam-eee you and your DD would have a life time of having to correct people.

Camille is beautiful

Camille.

I do like Camilla as well but the Charles connection puts me off.

Camilla, it's a lovely name.

Camille would cause pronunciation problems. Cam-eel just sounds wrong, the French way is soft and pretty. It is a unisex name in France, there's a strapping male swimmer with that name.

Would you consider the Brazilian version: Camila? Pronounced cah-MEE-la. Really like it.

Camila is nice too.

Camilla - little bed, Parker-Bowles, over flowing ashtrays and pearls
Camille - Camel in a English accent, can you persuade people to put on a French accent every time they say your child's name?

Although it is Apanish/Catalan I think Camèlia still works better in the UK too.

Camille is beautiful. The nn Cammie is cute too.

Suggestion: I've recently heard the name Callia and fell in love with that name and Camille sort of reminded me of it again.

Camille. By a million miles. Sounds so much nicer. AND she will share the name if one of France's best current singers, Camille Delmais check out her album, Ouï
